Dylan Byers endorses the notion that Nate Silver's rep will "take a severe hit" if Romney wins. But if Silver is exactly right Byers, who implied
that Silver was overrated, will take no hit whatsoever. Joe Scarborough
will still have his show. And Peggy Noonan will still be able to assert
the significance of her feelings. And I will go into class tomorrow and
try to explain to 19-year-old kids why this sort of journalism can give
you a plum place in the world of media but can't get you out of an
undergraduate writing seminar.
